YOU ARE ALL WRONG. MP9-10 IS MUCH EFFICIENT THAN MP0-3

(Locked)

1)For rares:MP0: you default MF is 100, cap MF is 375. So your total MF is 475.MP10: you default MF is 100 unchanged, cap MF is 625. SO you total MF is 725.725/ 425= 1.526. This means you have 1.526 times better chance to have 1 magic affixe on the dropped loots.

Nowdays, Most of all the gody or 5m+ items will have 6 affixes. So. 1.526 x 1.526 x 1.526 x1.526 x 1.526 x 1.526= 12.827. This means you have 12.827 times better chance roll an 6 affixes items on MP10 than MP0.

Also, On MP10, 100% extra items will drop than MP0. let say you are farming 5 times slower on MP10 than MP0. So 12.827 x 2.0/5 = 5.14.[u]THE CONCLUSION IS THAT YOU WILL LOOT 5.14 TIMES MORE 6 AFFIXES ITEMS ON MP10 THAN MP0 PER HOUR.[/u]

2) For legendariesAlthough you MF is only 1.526 more on MP10 than MP0, the drop chance / MF ratio for legendaries is not linear, please note that it is not linear. I don't know the formular behind ,maybe squared or cubed or 4 or 5. However, you always can test it out. Based on my experience( i am a monk , I farm MP0 from para lvl 50-85 using TR build, farm MP9 from para lvl 86-99 using sweeping wind working machnism by swiching gears). MP9 LEG drop rate per hours is about 2 times more than farming MP0.

Note that I do ALK run on MP0 in 10-13 times including ID time. and I do it on MP9 in 30-40 mins. about 75-80% of LEGs are dropped from white mobs while doing ALK run on MP9.

I poop most days but sometimes its on a Wednesday and then on a Friday and Saturday. On Mondays I eat pizzas and Tuesdays I have a lie in. Sundays I have a bath and most days I fart. But I did notice that my chance of feeling light headed because of a greater drop rate did sometimes occur if I had a good curry or some bad fish.

The drop rate is about as much affected as the year I decided to count all the snowflakes that dropped on my lawn before Christmas. Yes a total waste of time. Probably summed up in the old joke of:

How do you confuse a simpleton? Line up a row of shovels and ask him to take his pick. :-O

Just settle with it, there is nothing to be earned and no amount of statistical analysis is going to improve the results in accordance with how you feel today. Its a time sink, a forlorn hope magnet, a mindless drone encumbered nil RL value game.

I wont pay the bills, it wont develop you RL career and it wont save you from poverty. Its just a collection of bits and bytes programmed to introduce hope in an otherwise worthless environment.

Now that you know that, sit back and enjoy the time you have just clicking and collecting more vapour mats and stats.

Efficient is not a general statement in a game like this different gears, different builds, etc

The most efficient is the one the player can do the fastest with the fewest deaths possible, my witch doctor can only keep movement speed high by getting kills to reduce cooldown on spirit walk the farming speed requires a constant stream of death, if my dps was high enough that MP3 mobs died instantly, I would be just as fast as MP0 runs with better Xp and loot.

Games like this work on breakpoints, for farming its how can i kill and still keep moving, once MP0 becomes a cakewalk, then bump up MP levels until you hit a speed bump.

The highest MP is always better, the reason high MP is a false economy for most people is that the health and damage scale on an incline whereas magic and gold find bonuses are set at a flat rate.

If a run takes 10 mins on mp0 but mp5 takes 15, i'll run mp5, if it takes 1h30 and i die 3 times, i'm not going to bother with MP5.
